Fabric OS Command Reference 827
53-1001337-01
spinFab
2
Operands This command has the following operands:
-nmegs count Specifies the number of frames to send in millions. The test progresses until
the specified number of frames has been transmitted on each port. The
default value is 10 million frames. This command only approximately counts
the frames and the actual number of frames sent will be slightly larger,
particularly at link speeds of 4 Gbps or higher.
-ports itemlist Specifies a list of user ports to test. By default, all of the ISL ports in the
current switch are tested. Refer to itemList for further details.
-setfail mode Instructs spinFab how to mark failed ports. Valid values are:
0 Does not mark failing ports as FAILED (default). This option minimizes the
impact on live fabrics.
1 Marks the failing ports as FAILED. In test or qualification environments
without live traffic, this may be useful with large values of -nmegs count. This
mode is disabled by default.
Examples To test cascading ISLs:
switch:admin> spinfab -ports 1/0 - 1/2
spinfab running...

port 0 test status: 0x00000000 -- passed.
